Hi, we did this back in April 2014, was fantastic, there were four of us, and we shared with one other couple, when you arrive you get special lanyards, meet your tour guide, then pretty much get to go on everything, no queues at all, and loads of backstage shortcuts, and secret info, we rode absolutely everything at least once, including all the major rides and harry potter etc. There are some photos in my trip report here - https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...d.php?t=783907

I hope you enjoy it! We did two park deal as it was much better value, and had plenty of time to do both parks.

We did in Harry Potter Forbidden Journey, and also on the short cuts between parks etc, and got a lot of info on films that have been shot in US, to be honest the best part was just literally going straight onto the ride, as it was a very busy time when we went (Easter)
You also get discounted shopping, and blue man group discount, but only for the day of your tour, we were too tired to see the show after our day in the parks!

We booked this instead of Discovery Cove should add - it was a one off treat.

How much did it cost?

**Loopylooloo** · 26 Feb 17, 01:23 PM

When we did it, was about $200 each, on top of park tickets. Not cheap but we felt it was worth it for us. This time though we are overnighting at RPR for express passes and early entry instead - cheaper!
